When we hold the world responsibleFor a cure that will not comeMoney for our insolenceFilled our pockets to help noneThe resilience of democracyThe money just for oneLife holds in the balanceAs we lose many loved ones

It will be ok, let me pray for you

Hope for your life is all that's leftWe have a right to know the cureA remedy for the suffering The reports not being heard

It will be ok, let me hold you

People's agony, before moneyA false hope before chemo's doneLoss of hair and all dignityBut my love for you cannot be undoneI want you to know I tried so hardTo believe you would make it through And see you smile once again

It will be ok, let me comfort you

My tears for your sufferingMy hands held up in prayerLove becomes the lightIn all this darknessWhen there's nothing left to fearRemember youRemember youRemember me.

Most of us have been taught to believe in conventional medicine, to be consumers of pharmaceutical drugs, and not to trust common sense, the power of nature, or our bodies. We are taught to believe that causes of cancer remain a mystery (aside from well-known contributing factors such as smoking and alcohol), that they are random aberrations of our genes that happen to the unlucky – and that poor diet and our chronic exposure to chemicals have little or nothing to do with our health and quality of life.

We blindly trust the system, despite the fact that in America more than 784,000 people die each year from conventional medical mistakes, 106,000 people die each year from pharmaceutical drugs taken as directed, and that the number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization is almost nine million each year. Health care expenditures in the United States reached an astounding 16% of the gross national product ($2.39 trillion) in 2006.

But doctors tell us, “trust us, we’re the experts,” and proclaim to know what is best for us, since health, they say, is just too complicated for the average person to understand. We have been brainwashed into relinquishing our decision-making power to those so-called experts who are anything but neutral.

Treating cancer is a multi-billion-dollar industry today, among the most lucrative segments of the medical industry — and Americans are the profit centers. For decades the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries, hospitals, conventional cancer doctors, and others in what is known as the cancer establishment have used their financial power to determine what is taught in medical schools, what drugs are prescribed, and to suppress alternative cancer therapies that would affect their bottom line. Many people believe that if alternative treatments for cancer were any good they would hear about them from their doctor. This is simply not true.

In The Beautiful Truth, producer Steve Kroschel is ambitious to touch on taboo subjects that are not typically covered in the mainstream media. His film explores the interrelatedness of wellness, diet, and the cure for cancer—journeying across the country meeting scientists, researchers, doctors, and cancer survivors. Topics discussed are not to be taken lightly – genetically engineered food, aspartame, MSG, fluoride, irradiated food, and mercury – all of which may contribute to cancer and illness, yet most people have been conditioned to believe and accept they are normal, safe, and/or necessary.

The Beautiful Truth is a groundbreaking film, exposing the failure of the medical establishment while revealing how the Gerson Therapy has cured thousands of so-called incurable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis, despite being suppressed by the cancer establishment in America for more than 80 years. Kroschel’s courage to shed light on the truth about the medical, biotechnology, and chemical industries that thrive at the expense of public health is an honorable endeavor.

You owe it to yourself to see this film and find out what the mainstream media and cancer establishment don’t want you to know.

Friends, I'm writing you this email about a film that I am starting to get involved with called "The Beautiful Truth".

As most of you probably know, my Mom passed away just 3 weeks ago after a 4 month battle with cancer. Before I found out about my mother's diagnosis on July 7th, I felt like cancer was a horrible disease that affects other peoples families. Not my family. Especially not my Mom. My Mom was 67, looked 55 and acted 30. Always the picture of health, full of energy, and full of life every second of every day.

My Mom was told by her doctors that she had stage 4, TERMINAL Cancer, and that her ONLY chance of survival or extension of life is to start "aggressive" chemo and radiation immediately - which she did. She made what she thought was the best road for her based on the info presented by her doctors. Patients given these late stage diagnoses are often expected to decide within hours to choose to take the same traditional methods that have not statistically made ANY improvements since the 1950's, or to face the cancer in alternative ways.

When my Mom was diagnosed and started undergoing the poisoning of her body, I knew very little to nothing about what people did to fight cancer. Doesn't everyone just listen to their doctor?? Doesn't everyone just follow the traditional methods in the face of HORRIBLE survival rates??

After meeting some people who are now very influential in my life, and embarking on many hours of research on my own, my eyes slowly opened to the truth that people in this country, and around the world have treated and BEATEN cancer without a touch of Chemotherapy poisoning or radiation. These people believe and have irrefutable proof that cancer is an immunodeficiency disease that our body can beat if it is armed correctly.

I am in no way a conspiracy theorist. I am the type of person who is generally more trusting of the establishment than I should be. The fact of the matter is however that the pharmaceutical lobby is one of the largest in the world, and just how tobacco companies ran the FDA in the 50's-80's, the pharmaceuticals now run the FDA. The thought that really blew my mind on this topic was this -

WHAT HAPPENS TO EVERY ONCOLOGIST, EVERY CANCER WARD, EVERY CANCER FOUNDATION, EVERY CANCER RESEARCHER IF WE CAN CURE CANCER BY EQUIPPING OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS CORRECTLY WITH OUR DIET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

My Mom was told by 2 Oncologists (One of which is a leading Oncologist at Stanford) that "It doesn't matter what you eat during cancer treatment"

Please think about that for just a few seconds.

Back to this movie. "A Beautiful Truth"

This documentary is about Dr. Max Gerson who found that by having a strict diet that strengthens your immune system and purifies your body most all chronic degenerative diseases INCLUDING CANCER can be cured from the inside out. This film is about health, nutrition, disease, and the people who profit from sickness and death.

So, I am trying to help this film by getting people to see it in these early screenings. If you are going to be in the LA area around Thanksgiving, please see below.

I am flying in to LA on Wednesday and will be at the screening Wednesday night. If you can make it Wednesday at 5PM that would be great! They are trying to pack the place to help get this film nationwide distribution. This is possibly one of the most important films ever made because of it's message.

Yes my Mom had cancer when she died, but the cancer didn't kill her. The treatment did. Had I known what I know now 6 months ago, we would have at least been able to look more carefully at options. We would have been able to possibly save my Mom's life.

I do not believe that Doctors wish patients anything but success and full recovery. I did witness very caring doctors throughout our time. I do believe however that there is a strict way that the doctors are educated and they are trained to follow these same methods that haven't seen any headway against late stage cancer.

Information is key. It is imperative that people know that there are options available. If you haven't been affected by cancer yet, statistics say you will.

I have many lofty goals in my life, but one now is to take my Mother's infectious energy and work towards making this info available to more people. If I can help save 1 person from the torture that we went through with cancer, then I will feel like I have succeeded.

If you can pry yourself away from the dinner table on Thanksgiving, tune in to KPFK on Thursday November 27th at 4PM for a special one hour program you won't want to miss!

Join KPFK Senior Producer Christine Blosdale as she speaks with Charlotte Gerson and Howard Straus of the Gerson Institute on the powerful new film "The Beautiful Truth" and on the implications of Aspartame, MSG, Fluoride and Mercury on our health.

If you don't think you'll be out of your food coma by 4PM on Thursday then don't fret, the show will be re-broadcast on Friday November 28th at 7AM.

LISTEN LIVE to Sherry Beall’s show, Host/Producer Healthy Planet, Healthy Me! (KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles on streaming online on to a two hour show with Howard Straus, Charlotte Gerson and Steve Kroschel. They will be giving away 10 pairs of tickets to see ‘The Beautiful Truth” in theatre!

Healthy Planet/Healthy Me show is dedicated to bringing the latest facts to the forefront on Environmental and Health issues that directly impact each and every one of us.

Greetings, safe water health advocates and others dedicated to rightactions, I just learned today of this newly scheduled presentation ofthis important documentary film called The Beautiful Truth.

Many opponents of artificial water fluoridaton, mercury dental fillings,and other questionably "safe" practices and materials

could possibly resonate and gain important insights at this upcomingevent to be held in L.A.

As you see below, the internationally esteemed Gerson Institute foundersDr. David Kennedy (IAOMT article ) --all driving up from San Diego-others shall conduct Q A forums (with the viewer audience) after selectshowings of this film.

I saw The Beautiful Truth movie last night at the 7pm showing at the Quad Cinema in NYC.

At the very end of the movie the narrator said some beautiful and amazing sayings that were so inspirational I was wondering if you could email me back exactly all the sayings that were said. they were not written on the screen but rather said out loud and they were soooo important I want to have them and read them everyday. They speak soo loudly...

If you could, I would so love to have what was said.....

Thank you.Sonya

----------------------------------------------------Per Sonya’s request, here is the closing narration of THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH written by Steve Kroschel.----------------------------------------------------

For each of us, eventually, whether we're ready or not, someday it will come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

I am so totally thrilled to hear of this movie and getting the information to the public about how cancer can be cured. I am a (so-called) cancer survivor who wanted to go to the Gerson Clinic in 1996 but was met with derision whenever I mentioned an alternative method. I caved in to the pleadings of family and friends and to the exhortations of the medical profession and to this day suffer for that decision. The untold horror stories of the surgeries and chemotherapy have yet to be fully faced by the public, not to mention that cancer is really just a business. I was contacted twice last year by the cancer center where I went, who wanted to find out why I was still alive! They wanted me to come back to give them hair, saliva and blood samples, specifically to see if I had a "gene" that was resistant to cancer (more like resistant to their chemicals) - no thanks! After surviving the medical profession's protocol, I diligently attempted to take care of myself, with help from a few people, but it was a struggle finding good quality information as the internet did not have the information it does today. And finding organic food was not easy. You have no idea how many times I have wished I could have gone to the Gerson clinic.My congratulations to Cinema Libre (and Steve Kroschel) for making this film and to Garrett for his courage in pursuing the truth. I look forward to seeing it. Warm regards, Joyce D., Texas
